I am envious of your knowledge with carbs, always something I wanted to have a chance to play with, tune and learn the in and out's to.


have an old 1980 Vette that I really should spend more time with and learn on that...

Thanks. I'm still learning. The e85 carb was the first carbureted setup I've ever had. I learned a lot by messing with it. Lots of reading and lots of advice from some good buddies that have always used carburetors. Every time I put my hands it, I learned a little more. Kind of like what guys with efi software do lol. Except screws and jets are a lot easier for me to understand than complicated algorithms lol

This carb was built specifically for my setup so I shouldn't have adjust much more than the idle and fueling under boost. Can't wait to bolt it on and find out

This is more how I am. I like hands on, physically seeing things happen. I love computers but HP Tuners is intimidating as ****, especially after what recently happened. I will get it, I am determined and will go at a snails pace till I do.



In for results of new carb
